Are we a body with a Soul

Are we a Soul with a body?

This was brought up on Turning point (David Jeremiah) on his TV show today!

My personal belief is we are souls with a bodies..... Though God formed the body first and breathe the breath of life into man and he became a living soul..... when you look at Ecclesiastics scripture states to our body goes back to the dust of the Earth, our spirit goes back to God who gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 - Remember Your Creator
...... Or when God referred to knowing Jeremiah before he was formed in the womb, indicating our souls / spirits existed before
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 - The Call of Jeremiah

What Does the Bible Say About God Knew Us Before We Were Born? What Does the Bible Say About God Knew Us Before We Were Born?
...... Or when in Scripture it tells us in several different places our names can be erased / blotted out of the Lambs Book of Life indicating our names are already written and depending on our obedience to the will of God will be erased or remain, also indicating we existed before the creation of flesh bodies. Some think names are written in at conception. But when you go back to Jeremiah and a few of the scriptures he knew us before conception.

God created us as a living being having a body and a soul/spirit. We often discount our bodies calling it "carnal" and whatever but are we not treading dangerously into Gnostic thinking here? Upon our physical death, our soul will depart from our physical bodies and we will be present with the Lord in an "intermediate state" but we will be looking forward to the day when will be raised in his likeness. In the age to come, we will once again have a body and a soul and the two are inseparable with both reflecting upon who and what we are.
